This was an unusually strong winter in TLL so they were lucky ice is still there, thick and solid. Lake is just a couple of hundred meters from runway, along centreline. I understood aircraft ditching in this lake has always been a possible scenario for rescue services, so in some sort they are prepared for it. Last time it happened in late 60s, now again.
